Definition of «floater»

A floater is an eye condition in which a small piece of vitreous, the clear gel-like substance that fills the space inside the eye, becomes detached and moves around. This can cause visual disturbances as light passes through the floaters, casting shadows on the retina and creating the appearance of objects floating in your field of vision.
